Hunter gatherers that we have had historical contact with is not exactly what I had in mind. Those are neolithic folk, some with access to horses, shooting deer/gazel with bow and arrow.

I'm talking pleistocene peoples tracking across endless steppe in bands of 25 to 30 people with half a dozen wolfdogs. Half of the clan are kids and half of them will die before adulthood. So you have a little more than a dozen adults who have to regularly kill giant animals with spears just to eat, and they have to fight off giant lions, bears and hyenas regularly who want to eat their kills or flat out eat them. They fight half the people they run into because they are desperate survivors of the Ice Age wasteland. The winters are horrific and as likely to kill you as everything else combined. Doesn't sound like a pleasant life.

sure if you imagine the worst case scenario then the scenario you have in mind seems pretty bad but remember humans evolved in the tropics

humans hunting wooly mammoths for survival is a weird old artifact of imagining humans as hunters first and gatherers second and is basically the paleolithic equivalent of a nightmare situation that was not very common

No Covoking and Arzying are different things. Arzying is an irrational belief that something bad will happen. Covoking is the irrational catastrophizing of bad things that have already happened.

I think the right has successfully pushed that Antifa and Neo-Nazis are morally equivalent at this point. Most centrists seemed to have grabbed right onto it.

When someone claims antifa are the real neo-nazis that's fine as a statement. I mean I disagree but ok that's an opinion.

But I wonder what the actual neo-nazis are in that case. The ones that are actually out there marching with nazi and fascist symbols all over them. Are they ultra-nazis now? Neo-neo nazis? Are they actually antifa if antifa are actually neo-nazis?

e: oh you said before agriculture. actually being a hunter gatherer is pretty awesome in many ways and one of the big questions about early human history is why and how the transition to agriculture took place given that early agriculture does indeed suck

The answer pretty clearly seems that you and your family sit down in some big giant naturally occurring blueberry field or something then eat blueberries all day and have the easiest life imaginable, then eventually figure out some tips and tricks to keep your thing going being the blueberry guy. Then it's 30 years later and your blueberry field it's all your kids ever knew and you are stuck in a full time job and your awful wife is telling you to wake up at 5am to pull weeds so you have enough to trade some for a seashell neckless like becky has and you can't just leave your dead end job.

I saw some people asking what happened with Harvey today. Houston is mostly recovering, hopefully they wont get hit by rains too hard again soon.

Port Arthur and Beaumont were hit really hard. I think two fatalities in Beaumont, I'm not sure of names or stories.
The evacuation shelter in Port Arthur flooded.
